I can see my little brother's wondering with his head in his hand
and I know he's doing a lot of thinking with his foot in the sand
no doubt he's hoping and wishing for a helping hand
I would stop for a while and listen and do what I can
cause I don't think I live in this suffering time
I do my best (I do my best)
[Chorus]
Cause a friend in need is a friend indeed
and that's my belief, my philosophy
I say a friend in need is a friend indeed
and that's my belief my philosophy
A friend in need is a friend indeed
not for a dime, I put my friendship on the line
leaving behind all the wonderful time
I'll never forget, no way, where I'm coming from
if my brethren is weak I say
its for my tho get him strong
[Chorus]
Sometime you are down and low
don't have a dime, don't know where to go
and you feel like giving up
and a brethren comes along
[Chorus]
